I was listening to Fox Sports News the other (early morning) and the announcer was saying Memorial Day is for thanking our troops overseas. We should thank our troops overseas everyday for putting their skin on the line but Memorial Day is for us to truly thank all of those that have made the ultimate sacrifices for our country and our way of life.

Always thank a Vet and always thank those in the service of our country. But always, especially this weekend, give thanks and remembrance for those that gave their lives in defending this country and providing out freedom.

Regardless of your political bent, also be sure to explain to your children that the freedoms we enjoy today never came free. They were earned by the souls of men and women that dies for our country.
